“Eric Gibbons delivered a creative, informative, and engaging keynote presentation at our art conference.

Eric Gibbons is a highly qualified, award winning, NJ certified art teacher (28 years) with a second certification in elementary education.

His novel intercurricular, choice-based, STEM/STEAM approach to art education can be found HERE. To see how he builds his lessons, please visit HERE.

Speaking to Educators: Applying his experience as artist, author, teacher, inventor, and speaker, Eric Gibbons brings his message of subject integration, the value of "STEAM" over "STEM," rigorous art programs to enhance student success across content areas, and creative connections to schools across the country. His books, often on Amazon's top 100 art education resources, are used in schools across the United States and English speaking portions of Europe. His own approach to education has yielded stunning results with his students being 50% more likely to pass high stakes exams like the HSPA/GEPA and averaging well over 150 points higher than their peers on the SAT; utilizing his "STEAM" approach. With work in the Obama White House collection, nearly 75 books to his credit, and experience teaching in Japan, Egypt, and the United States, Eric Gibbons will provide dynamic workshops to improve school and student performance.

In 2015, Gibbons was awarded "The 2015 High School Division Award" by the Executive Board of Art Educators of New Jersey, recognizing him for his art education excellence.
